The National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 14 released the provisional answer keys and response sheets for the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) Session 2, 2025. Students who appeared for JEE Main Paper 2A (BArch) and Paper 2B (BPlanning) can check the provisional answer key and recorded responses at the official website— jeemain.nta.ac.in.
This year NTA conducted the JEE main session 2 exam on April 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 for Paper 1 (BE, BTech), while Paper 2 (BArch and BPlan) was conducted on April 9. The result of JEE Main paper 1 is declared on April 19.
NTA has also provided the option to raise grievances against the answer keys and recorded responses. Candidates can raise objections against the JEE Main paper 2 provisional answer key by May 16 (11.50 pm) online by paying non-refundable processing fee of Rs 200 per objection.
“If challenge(s) made by the candidate is found correct, the Answer Key will be revised and applied in the response of all the candidates accordingly. Based on the revised Final Answer Keys, the result will be prepared and declared. No individual candidate will be informed about the acceptance/nonacceptance of his/her challenge. The keys finalized by the Experts after the settlement of the challenge will be final,” NTA said while releasing the provisional answer key of JEE Main paper 2.
NTA will declare the JEE Main 2025 result for paper 2 and the cut-off after the final JEE Main answer key is released. The JEE Main session 2 result will be announced along with the cut-off, all India rank holders and state-wise toppers. Candidates who appeared for the JEE Main 2025 in January and April can expect a minor increase in the JEE Main cut-off this year, suggesting an increase in the number of candidates and past years’ cut-off.
The NTA in case of Paper 1 (BTech and BE) has addressed the concerns raised over discrepancies in the JEE Main 2025 Session 2 answer key, which included complaints about incorrect answers, wrongly recorded responses, and even blank response sheets. These issues had sparked criticism from students, parents, and education experts alike. Responding via a series of posts on X, the NTA emphasised that it adheres to a transparent and fair examination process. The agency also advised candidates not to be influenced by reports that could create unnecessary confusion or stress.
